for future ref can the people that post pics also add the specs and offsets. It would avoid me asking noob questions repeatedly like "what wheels are those?", "whats your offset"...so on and so forth

If you see a post without specs its likely they've already been posted earlier.

Browse the thread from the very beginning, its a fun journey

Before changing tires you could roll the rear fenders and see if that stops the rubbing. It's a much cheaper solution than two new rear tires.

So fat wheel guru's.....I'm changing setups due to a giant nail in my sidewall of my rear re-11's so to match my MCR canards and APR wing with my v3 nismo, i'm going to go meatier. My current setup is listed below with fenders rolled, fronts pulled, and rears flared.

19x9.5 -5, 235/35/19, -2.1 camber to clear fender
19x11 -5, 265/35/19, -2.0 camber (to clear fender before it was flared out)

I was thinking of running 245/35/19 and 285/30/19 as it checks out on 1010tires.com but I wanted to see if anyone has any other suggestions. thanks

So ordering some more RS3 to store.

(2) 275/35/18
(4) 285/35/18

Right now it's a 9.5/10.5 with 265/285 but gonna run 275 front next and looking for (2) 10.5 wheels for front and after the 275/285 is gone 285 square. I will work my way up. I wonder if I'll feel a difference in turn in response at the track with 275. I am messing with camber too - probably going from -2.2 to -2.5 or 2.7 or something a bit more aggressive up front.
